An electronic device including a first housing and second housing that are movable relative to one another such that the electronic device is transitionable between an open state and a closed state. The second housing includes first and second cover surfaces. In the open state, the first surface of the first housing may be visually exposed to an outside and in the closed state, the first cover surface may face the first surface and visually occludes the first housing surface. A first magnetic body may be disposed inside the first housing and may be positioned between the second surface and the display. A second magnetic body between the first and second cover surfaces may be positioned at a position to effect magnetic coupling of the first and second magnetic bodies in the closed state. A support coupling the second surface and the first magnetic body may be transitionable between shortened and expanded lengths.

Electronic device including magnets

An electronic device to which an accessory device is attachable according to various embodiments of the disclosure includes a housing including a first opening and a second opening and a connector at least partially exposed through the first opening and the second opening. The connector includes a main body, a button part seated on the main body so as to be movable in a first direction or a second direction, a first elastic member mounted between the main body and the button part, a movable part seated on the main body, and a second elastic member mounted between the main body and the movable part. A portion of the button part is exposed through the first opening, and a portion of the movable part is exposed through the second opening.

Electronic device including connector to which accessory device is attachable

An electronic device including a hinge structure disposed on a plate, and a stand member disposed to be rotated at a predetermined angle from the plate by using the hinge structure, is provided. The hinge structure includes a base member including at least one guide hole, a first rotatable member disposed on the base member and rotatable about a first axis, a second rotatable member disposed on the first rotatable member and rotatable about the first axis, and fixed to the stand member, at least one link each including one portion rotatably arranged with respect to a second axis disposed near the first axis, another portion guided through the at least one guide hole in accordance with a movement of the second axis, and a torque generating structure including an axis coinciding with the second axis, and providing a torque in accordance with a rotation of the second rotatable member.
